Prostate cancer is the most common malignancy.

Prostate cancer is, unfortunately, the second most frequent cause of cancer-related death among men.

It is estimated that 186,320 new cases of prostate cancer were diagnosed and approximately 28,660 deaths were reported from this disease in the United States in 2008.

The key to cure and long-term survival is early diagnosis of prostate cancer, which is a fairly easy procedure.

The importance of prostate cancer awareness among men in the United States and elsewhere is critical in overcoming the significant morbidity and quality-of-life issues associated with this disease.
